Europe not including France

In October 2012 we spent a week in Helsinki, Jim was in meetings, I walked around the city.

In June 2012 we went to Guernsey of the Channel Islands (not the ones in California) for a weekend.  Once I got there, I discovered that I had taken the battery out of my camera and not put it back, so the pictures I have of Guernsey were taken with my phone.  It's great that phones these days have pretty good cameras. We loved Guernsey and enjoyed a tour of Victor Hugo's house. Guernsey is not part of France or of the U.K. either.

London: I love London.  I spent some time there in 2011 in April, and again in November. We stayed in Kensington but of course I walked and rode all over the city. It was a great week.  Here are two pages of photos from the November visit.

In September, 2010 my husband attended a meeting in the mountains of Poland and I had fun walking in the woods of 
Szklarka National Park.

On the same trip we visited Prague, one of our favorite cities.

In 2006/07, my brother and his family lived in Utrecht, the Netherlands and I was lucky enough to be able to visit them twice during their stay. The first time was in the fall and my sister, Kathy was there at the same time. The second time was in the spring and that time my sister, Beth's family was there, as well as my mother, but you wouldn't know that from these photos.
